Yeah, they are little! About the size of a quarter right now.

They get to be about 2ft across fully grown.

I just finished up feeding time, all five of my little octos are still doing very well and are very active. I've been keeping their containers with at least a half dozen Amphipods and check at night that they still have some to hunt. I get to watch them hunt while adding more at night and it's...

Everything is still going well, I was able to get my lights installed, I'm doing grow bulbs so when I get the kelp and other macros they will hopefully be able to thrive and grow. I have a glass top that I got through our glass vendor at work and have it hinged with acrylic hinges. I put child...

Avast Plank! It has been awesome for me!

I dumped in a few Mysis last night to get the cycle started. Once that is going, I will probably try to add a couple of Blacksmiths or a few Salema to keep it cycled with a bio-load of some sort. I also plan to add some Shield Limpets, Black Turban Snails, and some Common Periwinkles for a...

Officially up and running since yesterday.

The rocks are massive. The one on the bottom right is huge, being that there are pukani and hard to come across, I didn't want to break them up. I would arrange it differently if I was doing corals, but my goal here was to create caves and places where a Octopus could hide. I like how it turned...

Tank is on the stand, rock is in place and glued together and plumbing is all ready to go. Everything should be dry and it will be ready for sand and water. I'm super excited that I have got to this point even though I still will have to wait about 6 months before it will be ready for an octopus.

Tank is re-re-sealed and I'm a lot happier with it this time. I have the facade on the stand and as soon as I can get some help I'll get the tank back up on the stand, get the plumbing done and rockwork in. Then hopefully sand and water next weekend.

I have all the facade panels top coated and ready to be installed on the stand. I had to reorder the octopus vent covers I'm doing on the side panels, and they are apparently coming from Texas by horseback. I had to file a missing mail report just to see movement again. So who knows when they...

Made a little progress this last weekend, I was able to get the sanding sealer on and the gray glaze applied, I also got the barnwood panels in the doors. I really like the way these are coming out. Hoping to have all the parts of the stand ready for top coat on Friday, then I can start back up...

I have some Caulerpa Peltata that I need to trim back some. I'd be happy to give you a little. I'm in Fort Collins.

Do you ever have a single head of the joker torch? I used to have a ton of this and would love to start up a colony again.

On a better note, I spent a lot of time over the weekend working on the stand facade, I was able to get all the molding on and fit it all onto the stand. I was also able to start white washing some of it. I placed the doors on the stand and they are just square edge, I have decided that I'm...

Well in this update I have good news and I have bad news. I'll start with the bad, I have the tank put together and up on the stand, I was inspecting all the new seams to make sure that everything looked good and found a spot where it just doesn't look right, This was my first time re-sealing a...

I got all the main seems siliconed today. I have a little clean up to do since working with black silicone sucks. I'll get pictures after I have it all cleaned up. I've also been working on the doors for the front of the stand.

Made some slower progress this weekend, I got the glass cleaned, polished, and the new vinyl on the back panel. I made an attempt at the scratches but crap would that take forever to sand out, so I ultimately decided that I can live with some of them. The polishing worked out most of the finer...

He says hes available today, gets off work at 4. If that works would you DM me your address and Venmo if you take that and I'll get you paid and he'll swing by?

Yes, let me get with James (Stithe) and see when would work best for him.
